All Armored Core 6 (AC6) Trophies – Explained

Grab all of those trophies/achievements

Armored Core 6‘s trophy list isn’t too tough to tackle, but there are a few challenges that will require quite a bit of dedication (like S-ranking…everything!). Let’s take a look at all of the challenges Armored Core 6 has to offer.

Tougher/lengthier Trophies

So this is the big kahuna section in terms of tough-to-earn trophies. The Platinum trophy is located here, but you’ll also need to clear every mission with an S-ranking. Just clearing them isn’t enough (it’ll only get you Stargazer and not The Perfect Mercenary). All part/OS upgrade trophies are located here too. It’ll require a ton of smart planning/playtime to finish everything.

  • Armored Core – Acquired all trophies
  • The Perfect Mercenary – Cleared all missions with an S Rank rating
  • Stargazer -Cleared all missions
  • Master of Arena – Cleared all Arena programs
  • Asset Holder – Obtained all parts
  • Tuning Expert – Performed all OS upgrades

Ending Trophies

  • The Fires of Raven – Reached ending: The Fires of Raven
  • Liberator of Rubicon – Reached ending: Liberator of Rubicon
  • Alea lacta Est – Reached ending: Alea lacta Est

Parts/equipment Trophies

These are more straightforward than traditional collectibles, as you’ll just need to buy up every possible part to unlock this set of trophies. To do that you’ll need a lot of cash, and not much else.

  • Weapon Collector – Obtained all weapon parts
  • External Parts Collector – Obtained all frame parts
  • Internal Parts Collector – Obtained all inner parts
  • Expansion Collector – Obtained all Core Expansions

Collectathon Trophies

These trophies will take time to earn. Combat logs are collectibles in the game, found on wrecks and throughout each mission. Think of them like collectibles. For “Testing Complete,” you’ll want to finish every arena encounter (which will take time to unlock, and requires progression).

  • Combat Log Collector – Obtained all combat logs
  • Data Log Collector – Obtained ten data logs
  • Testing Complete –  Cleared all combat aptitude evaluation programs in the Arena

Mission Trophies

This is arguably the most straightforward set of trophies. Here, you’ll just need to play through the game as normal, and clear key story missions to unlock these. You cannot miss them through a normal playthrough.

  • Illegal Entry -Cleared mission: Illegal Entry
  • Operation Wallclimber – Cleared mission: Operation Wallclimber
  • Contact – Cleared mission: Attack the Watchpoint
  • Ocean Crossing – Cleared mission: Ocean Crossing
  • A New Threat – Cleared mission: Attack the Old Spaceport
  • Ayre and the Coral -Cleared mission: Destroy the Ice Worm
  • Into Unknown Territory – Cleared mission: Underground Exploration – Depths 3
  • Re-education -Cleared mission: Reach the Coral Convergence
  • The Floating City – Cleared mission: Take the Uninhabited Floating City
  • MIA P – Cleared mission: MIA

Easy/basic Trophies

These trophies are very easy to snag, and you’ll get them early in the game. Simply complete every training module (accessible in the main garage menu), create a mech (AC), choose one OS upgrade (accessible when you unlock the arena and earn/apply one chip), and change a color of your mech’s pattern. That’s it! Instant trophies.

  • Training Complete – Cleared all training programs
  • Hardware Engineer – Assembled an AC
  • Software Engineer – Upgraded your AC’s OS
  • Graphic Designer – Changed the coloration of your AC
